Road Map

Phase 1 is write.pink, helping English students both native and foreign. This phase is still an ongoing project.

Phase 2 is a full-fledged wordprocessing app, both local and in the cloud, with a focus on content, restricting style tools to the format you need, and template theming.

Phase 3 will make the wordprocessor available in the cloud at pinkwrite.me as a hosted premium service to support blogging.
